“…This finding adds to existing studies underling why researchers call for improving parental self-efficacy as an intervention in the treatment of children with autism and their family function. 50 In line with previous studies, parenting stress was positively related to behavioral problems in children with autism. 51,52 This result was not surprising as high parenting stress may interfere with the ability to respond sensitively and appropriately to children's behavior, 53,54 thereby focusing on negative attribution about children's behavioral problems.…”

Purpose COVID-19 pandemic has been verified as a public health emergency of international concern. During the special period, the health of vulnerable groups, such as children with autism, should be concerned. Some studies have been carried out to investigate the behavioral problems of children with autism during the COVID-19, but underlying mechanisms behind it is not clear. This study examines the role of parenting stress as a mediator in the relationship between parental self-efficacy and behavioral problems in Chinese children as well as the role of perceived social support as a moderator for this mediation effect. Methods A total of 439 parents of children with autism (mean age=40.17, SD=5.26) were surveyed and completed five questionnaires (Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire, Parental Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, Parenting Stress Index-Short Form 15, Perceived Social Support Questionnaire, and Neuroticism Extraversion Openness Five Factor Inventory). The statistical analyses were conducted by SPSS 26.0 and SPSS PROCESS macro. Results Controlling for neuroticism, which is highly associated with psychological changes in parents, the study found that parental self-efficacy was significantly and negatively correlated with behavioral problems in children with autism. In addition, the relationship between parental self-efficacy and behavioral problems was mediated by parenting stress. Furthermore, parenting stress moderated the indirect relationship between parental self-efficacy and behavioral problems via perceived social support. Conclusion These results provide direct evidences for the inextricable relationship between family, social factors and behavioral problems of children with autism. It suggest that improving perceived social support to enhance parental self-efficacy is critical to buffering against parenting stress and stabilizing children with autism during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…People used spoken language to record anecdotes that were passed down from generation to generation and became stories that spread widely. Spoken language did not leave behind material products but was passed down through memory and served as a way for people to reflect (Noyan Erbaş et al, 2021). Image also provides the opportunity to interpret the connotation of the word and reveals the author's thoughts through symbols, metaphors, hints, colors, and compositions in the image, so visual communication is more shocking and effective than literature.…”

Innovative technological products are present in students' environments. Information explosion and popularity are affecting their thoughts, and there is a large amount of information fuel in life through the Internet, television, movies, and advertisements. This phenomenon transforms reading from pure words into image. The current study was conducted using an experimental design model. A total of 188 ethnic minority students in the Hebei Province participated in the experimental study. The experimental group went through language and visual art integrated instruction, while the control group underwent traditional teaching. The experimental study lasted for 20 weeks (3 h per week). The research results showed that (1) spoken and written artistic conception was displayed through artistic expression. Ethnic minority students' differences in language skills and artistic expression were found to be the major factors that were effective in the production process. These aspects made the work richer and even more diversified. (2) After joining the classes and covering several lessons, ethnic minority students were found to be getting increasingly better in terms of integrating art vocabulary into their conversation. (3) Language and visual art integrated teaching input was a story content, which was received through “listening”, while the outputs were individual opinions through “speaking”. Their thoughts were presented through “painting”. The creation process operated in the brain and reflected differences in terms of their thinking skills, vocabulary organizational skills, language use, and creativity. Based on the results, this study is expected to improve the language proficiency of ethnic minority students, enhance their artistic culture, and pave the way for their understanding and attitude toward language and literature.

“…Therefore, it is crucial for parents to be involved in teaching and intervening during their children's childhood. Parents participate in interventions to improve their own knowledge about autism on the one hand, and to improve their ability to help their children and their effectiveness in using evidence-based strategies on the other (Magaa et al, 2015;Noyan et al, 2021). Involving parents in interventions benefits children and their parents by saving time and resources, can overcome some of the barriers that limit family involvement in interventions.…”

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social communication deficits and restricted or repetitive behaviors. Parents play a significant role in research, clinical practice and policy development on autism. Parents' perceptions of autism can affect not only their own well-being, but also their children's development. Nevertheless, few studies have examined the parents’ perception of autism in Chinese context. The parents’ perception of autism questionnaire was applied to collect information from 171 families of children with ASD, mainly to investigate the knowledge of autistic children and the difficulties the family facing. The following conclusions were drawn from this study: (1) Mother as the primary caregiver for children with ASD; (2) Parents’ perception of ASD were various parents of autistic children have a good understanding of the symptoms, causes, age of onset and interventions, and their expectations of the prognosis and the future life of their autistic children are high; (3) The difficulties that faced by the parents are mainly composed of low social acceptance, family pressure and concerns about the effectiveness of interventions for their children. In consideration of the future development of children with autism and the mental health development of their parents, it is particularly crucial to support their parents with multifaceted support.
